Stopped by Juliana Restaurant on a Saturday night—grabbed the Mixed Grill Combo with Chicken Kebab, Beef Kafta Kebab, and Shawarma. The meats were juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the garlic sauce had that extra kick. The vibe was electric with live music and belly dancing—felt like a mini vacation. Service was friendly, though a bit slow, but the atmosphere made up for it. Definitely a spot for a fun night out

Came here on a Friday night—vibes were solid with the live music going. Ordered the mixed grill platter and some hummus, came out to around $30. Meat was juicy, seasoned nice, and the bread was fresh. Hummus could’ve used a bit more punch, but still good. Service was friendly but kinda slow. Overall, cool spot if you’re lookin’ for chill Middle Eastern eats and a lively scene.

It was an amazing experience! The owner (Albert) personally took care of us during our lunch. The we’re going through renovations and hadn’t even posted being open during lunch, but they still fed us. We came back during the evening for wonderful evening of live music and great food. My wife had a great time connecting with Albert about their Assyrian heritage.
